:: Operator (C# Reference)
The namespace alias qualifier (::) is used to look up identifiers. It is always positioned between two identifiers, as in this example:
global::System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
Remarks
The namespace alias qualifier can be global. This invokes a lookup in the global namespace, rather than an aliased namespace.
